Dear University of Washington students,
Winter 2025 registration begins Thursday, October 31, 2024.
To get started with registration, review your academic plan for Winter 2025 and seek guidance from an adviser if you need assistance. Then, sign into MyUW and complete your pre-registration steps before your estimated registration date.
Prepare for Registration
Returning students: New changes to review!
- New! Check out the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar and view the Period 1 Registration Dates Schedule for Winter 2025.
- Complete your pre-registration steps before registration begins.
40% of students do not complete these steps before registration opens and experience delays. Plan and complete these steps now!
- Check your tuition balance.
- Verify that you do not have any registration blocks by checking the MyUW Registration card or the MyPlan Registration screen. A common cause of registration holds could be:
- Not meeting the Measles, Mumps, and Meningococcal (MMM) immunization requirements, and/or
- New students needing to complete the Husky Prevention & Response module.
- Review the three choices related to Grading Options for S/NS and Numeric Grading.
- Need to make a change to your autumn registration? Review the Registration Change Guide for Autumn 2024.
- Current Quarter Drop: Review information on how to drop one class and up to all of your classes through this process.
- Former Quarter Drop: Looking to drop a class from a former quarter? Review the Former Quarter Drop process information.
Critical: Required Husky Prevention & Response (Title IX) Student Course
Husky Prevention & Response is a course about preventing and responding to sex- and gender-based violence and harassment. New and returning (an absence of one quarter or more) freshman, transfer, graduate, and professional matriculated students are required to complete the 60–90 minute online student course.
Students who do not complete the course will be blocked from registering for their second quarter. Begin the Husky Prevention & Response Student Course now or learn more on the Title IX student course page.
Students Expecting to Graduate Next Quarter
- Be sure to contact your adviser to submit your graduation application by the application deadline, which is the third week of each quarter.
- Your diploma name does not have to match your UW student record name. Instead, you can have your diploma issued in the name of your choice by entering your information into the Diploma Name and Address form. This is also where you will put the address where you would like your diploma mailed.
- Complete and submit this form now to ensure that your paper diploma will reach the best permanent address after you graduate. If you have not entered information in the form when we order your diploma the information from your student record will be used to issue and mail your diploma.
